    Malware

    by

    In class, we were learning about Malware. So I explain it briefly. Malware stands for malicious software that is programmed to do abusive behaviors such as stealing information, gaining unauthorized access to the resource and something like that. As the internet has developed, Malware also becomes various. I guess many people regard computer virus as most part of Malware, yet actually the computer virus is one of the types of Malware.


    Although everyone in CIS class cannot believe, some people with poor knowledge about computers believe that human beings can be infected with computer virus.  In 2007 April, a rumor that people can catch deadly virus through cell phones by answering call spread in Pakistan or Afghanistan. The people got into a panic. Therefore, finally the government announced that cell phones were totally safe and blamed local Taliban for telling scary rumor.





    However, some malicious people actually upload music file or flash by professing that “these files might cause lunacy” or “they make you commit suicide.”
    It is clear that computer never become malicious by itself. Always people’s malicious mind is first.



    Question for the final

    What are the possible factors which might threaten your identity and privacy online? Name at least three and write possible reacts to them in order to protect yourself.

    Google map story

    This Google Map shows a location of my favorite soup curry shop, Shanti.
    Shanti in Ikebukuro is located to C2 and C3 exits of Tokyo Metro.


    One of my friends told me about the shop. The curries are so good! I sometimes go there with my boyfriend. The picture on the left side is the chicken leg curry. It looks so nice doesn’t it? It is my best favorite menu in this shop.






    But unfortunately, they have raised the price of curries with chicken legs since the end of October. That is because it has been getting difficult to import American chicken legs with low price. I was sad when I heard this news. But they have other delicious curries as well! So if you have a chance to visit Ikebukuro, you should visit Shanti!

    ‘malware’ was a new word for me.

    by
    According to our friend Wikipedia, Malware is defined like this:
    Malware, short for malicious software, consists of programming (code, scripts, active content, and other software) designed to disrupt or deny operation, gather information that leads to loss of privacy or exploitation, gain unauthorized access to system resources, and other abusive behavior.
    First, I am not a computer kind of person.
    The first computer I used was WindowsME, from 2002.
    Had no idea what Apple and Mac was until high school.
    My first interaction with Mac computer: last year (2010).
    (didn't even know how to turn that thing on.)

    This class was the first time I heard of the term "malware".

    Despite the definitions on the web,
    I still had a question.


    What is the difference between 'malware' and 'virus'?

    So I went on google,
    type in
    'malware virus difference'

    and here it is!
    Someone had the same question!

    The chosen best answer:
    Malware is any piece of bad software, like viruses, worms, spyware and trojans. So malware and viruses are the same thing.
    Very simple and short.
    I really like it!
    So, if I was to take notes, I would write it down like

        Malware
          - virus
          - worms
          - spyware
          - trojans

    (is this correct?)
    Since I have never heard of 'malware',
    I have no idea what 'worms', spyware', and 'trojans' are.
    Also, I only have stereotypical image of virus (like those on dramas and movies)
    so I thought I need a clear definition.

    So, I go on google again!
    And I find this question:
    What's the difference between a virus, worm, malware, spyware, and trojan?
    There was a very long, but very well-detailed answer by this person called N Smith.
    I wanted to post it up here,
    but this blog was going to be really long, so I'll just put the URL.

    After doing some research,
    I was glad that a lot of people had the same question I had.
    They may have heard of these words long before me,
    but I was still relieved. haha.

    Malware = evil.
    Malware is just another dirty word. 
    haha.



    Question for final exam:
    -  Malware, virus, trojan, worms, spyware are basically the same thing. (true/false)
    -  "Malware" is short for
         (malnutrition, warehouse) (malicious, spyware) (malicious, software) (malaria, software)
